Can't help it, but if I don't post this now it will be forever lost...though maybe that's a good thing.

Hmmm. This was prompted by the posts regarding Bilbo being a thief.
Anyway, we will eventually see a scene in which Gollum is tortured, and surely he is being questioned regarding the whereabouts of the Ring and the thief Baggins.
Can you imagine Sauron asking, "And by the way, when you found the Ring, you didn't see any extra fingers lying around, did you?"
Okay, so it was funnier in my head.
